The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus) novel Chapter 312

Magnus strained to sit up on his hospital bed, determination etched on his face. "I must go back immediately, I need to find her and talk things out. I need to know why she said those things to Jonas!"

Dr. Frankie and James rushed to his side. Dr. Frankie tried to dissuade him, "Mr. Magnus, you've just detoxed. Even a superhero couldn't bounce back that quickly. Lie back down and let James and I handle this. Your wife is kind-hearted. She'll be alright.”

"Listen to Dr. Frankie, Magnus. We're here for you. I'll go find her right now. Perhaps Jonas was just kidding around, and she's out shopping for groceries," James hastily added, trying to keep Magnus calm.

But Magnus shook his head resolutely. "Something's wrong. She was with me all night, and her eyes were full of emotions I didn't understand. I get it now, she must be hiding something."

As he spoke, something seemed to click in Magnus' mind. He turned to Dr. Frankie, "Did you say Belle was here?"

"Yes, Mr. Magnus. When I arrived this morning, I found Belle standing in this room. I don't know how she found it. She handed me the antidote and disappeared when I was busy confirming its authenticity," Dr. Frankie said regretfully. "I was too careless. I should have detained her."

Magnus' heart skipped a beat. Belle, who had gone to great lengths to poison him, was now bringing him the antidote. Something was off.

"Help me up. I have to go home right now. No delays," Magnus asserted.

Dr. Frankie looked troubled. "Mr. Magnus, you just detoxed and haven't fully recovered. You can't push yourself like this."

"Indeed, you've been through a lot these past days. You need proper rest. If there's anything you need, we can do it for you," James added, trying to dissuade him.

But Magnus, always decisive and quick in action, frowned at their suggestions. "No. Belle's sudden appearance here must have something to do with my wife. I can't rest until I find her. Besides, it's been a while since I last saw Jonas."

Magnus was so determined; Dr. Frankie and James had no choice but to comply. They fetched a wheelchair, helped Magnus into it, and drove him to his home.

Throughout the ride, Magnus' brows were furrowed. His face was pale, a result of the poisoning. He was filled with unease. He was anxious about Natalia. She had taken care of him relentlessly, never leaving his side. Now she was suddenly missing, and Belle had unexpectedly brought him the antidote. It was clear to Magnus that Natalia must have agreed to some sort of condition Belle had set.

Although he didn't know what that condition was, Magnus' mind was in chaos. He feared nothing, not even death or pain. The only thing he feared was losing Natalia!

"Drive faster!" Magnus urged, feeling the car was moving too slowly.
